IU’s power was on full display once again—and this time, it wasn’t on stage, but in the tech world!
On May 14 at 10:30 p.m. KST, IU held a surprise birthday live broadcast titled “IU’s 5.16MHz With UAENA” on her new fan community platform Berrys, created by Kakao Entertainment.
Just one day before, IU had officially launched her space on the global fan platform, already bringing tens of thousands of fans with her.
During the live, IU expressed excitement over the launch, saying, “Hey everyone! I finally have my own fan community too,” while laughing warmly with fans. She added, “I really like the name, meaning, and sound of ‘Berrys.’ Seven minutes in, there are already 30,000 people watching and over 1 million hearts, but the server isn’t crashing!”
But the highlight moment came when IU gave casual feedback to the developers watching. She said, “Dear developer! When I scroll through Dear U and click on a post to comment, then press the back button, I hope it returns me to where I left off instead of jumping back to the top. If you have time later, please update it. Everything else is perfect. Berrys is the best! Sleep well~”
Turns out, IU’s request didn’t fall on deaf ears.
In a surprising update, a Berrys developer replied, “I stayed up all night to fix the feature you mentioned. I’m also working on additional improvements. We’re preparing threaded replies soon as well. Now, I’ll get back to developing.”
Fans were shocked and amused by how quickly the developers acted. Comments poured in online, with netizens saying things like:
- “If a goddess gives an order, you have to follow it.”
- “IU is basically like a CEO now.”
- “The app had some issues, but they fixed it right away. That’s power.”
- “She says sleep well and they fix the code overnight—legendary.”
- “This is why IU is loved by fans and developers.”
IU’s one comment led to overnight coding and instant results—just another reminder of her unmatched influence, even in tech.
